My sister doesn't make it easy for me!

She might love Christmas time and have tons of things available at home to decorate a bike to look all Christmasy, I don't feel the same about Christmas or Christmas decorations! I might have to call in some favors from friends on this one. What I need is one day during December where a friend or two are available to help me decorate the bike and maybe even come with me on the bike ride. I promise anyone that help me out an amazing dinner afterwards! Any takers?


New Challenge for you sister!!

Someone suggested that I should come up with the next challenge, because I won the first one. So here it is. We´re entering the dark times of December (which I LOVE) which lead me to think that a cheering up Christmas challenge would be in place.

So sister I want to see who of us can bike the longest distance in one go, on a Christmas-decorated bike (lights, santas, Christmas tree-decorations of all kind, snow, take your pick) Endomondo and picture proof required. It will start on the First of  December and finish on the 21st (so we will have time and prepare for Christmas-celebrations, you know hanging with family, singing, cleaning, baking, decorating, that kind of stuff.)

The looser will donate 20 euros and the winner 10. All in the giving spirit of Christmas.
Are you in sister dearest??

It's alright!

Fine, my sister and all her excuses will be awarded the win in the challenge since it is obvious that the only way she could win was a free 10 kilometers and an extra week where she was un-contested. I have transferred the €10 and am now trying to think up yet another challenge that I can win and some higher stakes. Any good ideas?

Actually I won!

But it all depends on how your counting. I did the biking before the challenge ended but due to circumstances such as my illness, husbands illness and youngest daughters illness, the grade of updating the blog has been beyond low.
Anyway sister wanted proof, here it is. (only for the sake of honour) But I can gladly donate the 10 euros for being late with the proof.



What a joyous Friday morning

The biking challenge might be over and my brain working overtime in order to come up with a new challenge  (ideas are more than welcome) that I can win! However, while eating breakfast this morning my phone pinged as a new e-mail was received and guess what! We received another donation, very appreciated Susanne! We are now up to €180 and there are still months to go before the bike race, think we are doing good this far.

Darn, darn, darn!

My sneaky sister seriously took advantage of the fact that I went out of town, and went on a biking streak on Monday! However, have any of you seen any proof of the same? I haven't! Does that mean I won then?

There are eight minutes left before this challenge is over, should I be kind enough to accept late entrances? Though choice, we are talking about €10 here - and the honor of beating your sister in a competition that wasn't really that fair!

Ouch what a bad ending!

It has been quiet the last week, this is due to me being sick (again, autumn is no fun!) and an unforeseen last minute trip to the parents since my dad's body needed  a visit to the hospital again. It feels good to be able to drop everything and go and be close to my parents and sister when this happens, and I am very grateful that I have the opportunity to work from home so that work doesn't suffer too much.

I did manage to do some biking on Tuesday, then Wednesday morning I got on a train and completely forgot to post the evidence of the same, so here goes;

Today is Saturday, and even though I am getting on a plane relatively soon I still managed to squeeze some last K's in on the bike.

Note to one self, when challenging ones sister to do something, do check your calender if you have any plans for the time period. My sister will now be unchallenged for the reminder of the time, and does have a fair chance to beat me :( Technically, I think I should get a handicap for the three days I spent with my parents this week, what do you think?

I'm still winning - awesome!

Yes, I admit that I have been a tad bit lazy over the past few days. I'm still winning though, so good, my sister will never hear the end of it!

I'm on the bike again!

How far? To work this morning, and should probably take the long way home today. We will see.. I'm definitely going to win this!!
